Young Thug and Gunna were two of the 28 individuals named in a 56-page indictment on Monday (May 9). The charges made by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department stem from violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery and gang activity. Once the shocking news broke, Twitter was quickly flooded with reactions, memes and various commentary.
Some people were also throwing an artist’s name they didn’t like into the mix, claiming they were somehow associated with YSL and suggesting authorities should look into them. The likes of Jack Harlow and singer Queen Naija were a couple of artists used in tweets that went viral.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hosted a press conference on Tuesday morning (May 10) and one reporter, who either was trolling or has no idea about who Jack Harlow is, asked about the “First Class” rapper’s involvement in the YSL case.
“The indictment’s got Young Thug and a bunch of other rappers,” he asked. “There was one name I was actually expecting to see here that I didn’t, that’s Jack Harlow. Can you speak to that?”
Young Thug & Gunna Indicted On Racketeering, Murder & Armed Robbery Charges
The District Attorney didn’t bat an eye and responded with a serious answer while nobody else in the room seemed to know what was going on.
“What I’ll tell you is that as large as this indictment is, I told my team let’s not be sexy, and let’s not overreach,” she said. “Let’s be conservative in our approach.”
The clip throwing Jack Harlow’s name into the press conference quickly made the rounds and went viral on social media. Harlow hasn’t responded to the video or anything YSL-related as of press time.
Obviously, the Louisville native isn’t tied to YSL in any way while growing up in Kentucky and being signed to DJ Drama’s Generation Now label, but he’s dominated headlines in recent weeks with the release of his sophomore Come Home The Kids Miss You album.
now lemme hear how this is racist, when everyone in the fuccckin world knows harlow had nothing to do with this. lets hear it. tell us YTs how this female black DA is racist.
shut up, no-sheet
People are desperately trying to hype Jack Harlow. Controversy sells, but Jack Harlow isn’t a star. Industry plants should stop wasting money on him because he’s not a star. Jack Harlow should go the independent, underground route.
wtf is this.
Of course they don’t want this White boy he is going to be their next Golden-Goose (Eminem). There is no way in hell he is going to be involved, the D.A. is only going after Black men. No mention of White Racist, Biker or Latino Gangs. She is only going after the Black Gang members in Fulton County, according to Ant Jemima (sic) only Black Gang members commit violent crime in her county.
Because black gangs don’t know how to organize their operations. They’re sloppy. You don’t see biker gangs and the Mexican Cartels posting their crimes on social media. Organized gangs use their profits to buy influence so they don’t end up in situation like YSL. The DA should have been in Young Thug’s pocket.
Harlow a industry plant, hes feeding 12 the info frfr
That’s because white people aren’t doing what black people do. The white people don’t run the streets the black people do stfu
That’s because the white people are too busy shooting up the schools and other public places…
Ignorant ass response. Best believe if Jack had any involvement, his white ass would be first to be thrown under the bus. Save that bs oozing out your soup coolers.
